Sunday WoW Items Before Shadowlands Wilhelm Arcturus We’re into November, and a bunch of stuff is coming up in World of Warcraft, not the least being the Shadowlands expansion. But that is out on the 23rd, and a few things are in between then and now. The November 1 calendar entries Darkmoon Faire It is the start of the last Darkmoon Faire before the expansion, and the first one since the big level squish. You can get a final five points in any of your Kul Tiran or Zandalarian professions before Shadowlands profession updates arrive. My main is just 3 points shy of finishing engineering, so I’ll be in there with him. You have until Saturday night to get that done. I’m also going to see if I can figure out the deal with heirloom gear. Most of mine seems to be useful only through level 34 now, which isn’t so useful in a 10-50 alt leveling context. Day of the Dead It is also your chance to run the Day of the Dead event. Get on this right away though, as it is a single day event. Anniversary Event World of Warcraft turns 16 this year, and the anniversary of the initial launch coincides with the launch date for Shadowlands. I guess they did not want the two events interfering with each other or confusing anybody, so the anniversary event starts today and ends on November 22nd. The 23rd is reserved for Shadowlands. End Date The event itself is a modest example of the genre. You get a package in your mail box with some time warped tokens, a quest starter for a time walking event, a firework, and the usual xp boost token. 16 years means 16% boost I am going to guess that Blizz doesn’t want to go into Shadowlands while giving people an xp boost. They’ll save that for later. The Headless Horseman’s Mount Once again I queued up for the Headless Horseman. I was half-hearted when Hallow’s End started, but was motivated by Belghast’s post about going all out for it. Having done an audit of all of my characters, I knew that I had 18 characters who were level 20 or higher after the squish, the minimum level to run the Headless Horseman’s instance. The first couple of the days I just ran with the dozen eligible characters on the paired servers, Eldre’Thalas and Korialstrasz, that I think of as home. At the end though I dug out some old characters, spec’d them up, and ran with anybody I could get in the queue. But, after the final run this morning as the event wound down, I found myself once again without the mount. Not mine Lots of masks, a lot of candy, a few rings, one sword, but no mounts. On the bright side, I didn’t do horribly with the rando alts. I’d probably go back and spec a couple of them to tank specs just to shorten the wait in the queue, but I didn’t do too bad. I only had one bad group along the way, which wiped on the event three times before I bailed. I was tanking that one with a level 50 pally and was putting out more DPS than the rest of the group combined. Next year in Scarlet Monastery I guess. https://ift.tt/369a1Dl

We’re into November, and a bunch of stuff is coming up in World of Warcraft, not the least being the Shadowlands expansion.  But that is out on the 23rd, and a few things are in between then and now.

The November 1 calendar entries

Darkmoon Faire

It is the start of the last Darkmoon Faire before the expansion, and the first one since the big level squish.  You can get a final five points in any of your Kul Tiran or Zandalarian professions before Shadowlands profession updates arrive.  My main is just 3 points shy of finishing engineering, so I’ll be in there with him.  You have until Saturday night to get that done.

I’m also going to see if I can figure out the deal with heirloom gear.  Most of mine seems to be useful only through level 34 now, which isn’t so useful in a 10-50 alt leveling context.

Day of the Dead

It is also your chance to run the Day of the Dead event.  Get on this right away though, as it is a single day event.

Anniversary Event

World of Warcraft turns 16 this year, and the anniversary of the initial launch coincides with the launch date for Shadowlands.  I guess they did not want the two events interfering with each other or confusing anybody, so the anniversary event starts today and ends on November 22nd.  The 23rd is reserved for Shadowlands.

End Date

The event itself is a modest example of the genre.  You get a package in your mail box with some time warped tokens, a quest starter for a time walking event, a firework, and the usual xp boost token.

16 years means 16% boost

I am going to guess that Blizz doesn’t want to go into Shadowlands while giving people an xp boost.  They’ll save that for later.

The Headless Horseman’s Mount

Once again I queued up for the Headless Horseman.  I was half-hearted when Hallow’s End started, but was motivated by Belghast’s post about going all out for it.  Having done an audit of all of my characters, I knew that I had 18 characters who were level 20 or higher after the squish, the minimum level to run the Headless Horseman’s instance.

The first couple of the days I just ran with the dozen eligible characters on the paired servers, Eldre’Thalas and Korialstrasz, that I think of as home.  At the end though I dug out some old characters, spec’d them up, and ran with anybody I could get in the queue.

But, after the final run this morning as the event wound down, I found myself once again without the mount.

Not mine

Lots of masks, a lot of candy, a few rings, one sword, but no mounts.

On the bright side, I didn’t do horribly with the rando alts.  I’d probably go back and spec a couple of them to tank specs just to shorten the wait in the queue, but I didn’t do too bad.  I only had one bad group along the way, which wiped on the event three times before I bailed.  I was tanking that one with a level 50 pally and was putting out more DPS than the rest of the group combined.

Next year in Scarlet Monastery I guess.
